On the Road to Nauta

"There is no sand on the Amazon River itself where I go (just clay) as part of Project Amazonas Reforestation and Environmental Education, but there is plenty a few km away - really plenty for about 20 km from the airport to the road to Nauta. Probably came from the Andes via the River Itaya." D. Dean
